    1st test - we gave you a hiding
    2nd test - you gave us a hiding
    3rd test - we gave you a hiding
    4th test - pattern broken <devil>

    Looking forward to having more time to watch this one. Should be a cracking contest.

    Will do. He`s been a busy lad recently but he`ll be back on for the new season.

    2k refund eh? Very nice to get some back. Our lot take it, fill in a form and keep it for themselves. Greedy bastards. Hate that lot with a passion.

    Back to the cricket. Your lot will be raring to go. Expecting some fireworks. They`ll be wanting to give us a seriously hard time.

    Any changes to your squad do you know?

    I think Geoff Boycott`s been on about him in the press somewhere. I`ll see if I can find it. Rated him highly iirc.

    Yeah mate I believe he did very well in the warm up tests, may have scored a century? Class player watched him very closely over the years and wouldn't look astray at Trent Bridge <ok>

    Can`t find the article. Mentioned when he came on as sub I think. Better player than the rubbish they`re sending to the crease. You know, the Boycott style of diplomacy <doh>.

    I also think that Wood is a positive from this series and adds to the strength in depth of the bowling attack. We still need to find a spinner who can get the ball to spin!

    ****ing hell - $1k for a kitchen? I just got a quote for mine and it came in at £8600!!! Will the fitters fly over here as it'll be cheaper for their flights than the extra £8k for the kitchen!!

    I think he should play too - he can bat and he is difficult to read when bowling. Wood should be in for Anderson, But Moeen is playing well with the bat! It's quite difficult really - who do you drop from the middle order? I don;t flaming know!!

    Haha sorry I should've worded that better mate. Yes I gave here 1k but that was to make her final payment. I believe hers cost around 15k all up. Massive kitchen and she deserves it <ok>

    Still not bad mate - almost 2:1 Aus $ to Sterling! £7500 for a big kitchen is a good price - mine isn;t that big... Neither is the kitchen!
